STUDIES ON BORDEAUX WINES AND GROWTHS

Chateau de France

Pessac-Léognan

Non classif.

last update : Monday 04 January 2010
 

Located close to Château Fieuzal, the 19th century Château de France overlooks the town of Léognan.
The vineyard has good sun exposure and is located on a Pyrenean gravel rise with a clay-limestone subsoil.
The estate mainly produces red wine, but 3 hectares of white wine varieties were planted in the late 80s.
Purchased by Bernard Thomassin in 1971, Château de France took out a new lease on life after almost half a century of decline.
Elegant and classic, Château de France is very popular abroad, and almost half the production is exported.
